We've had lots and lots of baseball/softball this month!  

Joshua started talking about wanting a new bat . . . and our eyes were opened to how expensive new bats could be!  Wowza!  But, we agreed on a portion that he would need to pay for "his part" and he did a great job at staying focussed on paying that off.

Our neighbors brought over this gizmo -- it wraps around the baseball pole and you can hit, and hit, and hit, and hit, -- well, yeah.  Not sure how much the neighbors dig hearing the "thump, thump, thump" at 7am!!!!  He has certainly given it a workout!

A little more expert photography thanks for Bryan . . .

Kayla finished up her season this weekend -- and she had a great time!  Her coaches were great, and we didn't even had too many stifling hot games, so that was an added blessing!  I don't think she hit off the "tee" even once this year -- she attacks that ball!

 . . . and she's off . . .

All geared up for playing catcher . . .

Big smile . . .

And this was Tyler's contribution to the ball season . . . lots and lots of time at practice:)  Thankfully, some of the practice fields were located at schools with good playground 

equipment . . . so that was a huge help!
